Docket No. 1155-0198P

III . EXPLANATION OF WHY CONTESTED CHARGE IS IN ERROR

The Notice to File Missing Parts was incorrectly issued as referenced by our
May 7, 2002 letter. The declaration submitted with the filing of the
application was in compliance with 37 C.F.R. 1.497(a) and (b) . Since the
declaration was properly submitted and timely filed with the filing of the
application, the late filing fee was never actually due and never should have
been charged.

IV. MANNER OF REFUND

Please make refund by crediting Account No. 02-2448.

We respectfully request that the attached copy of this letter be returned to
us with an indication that the credit has been processed.

Respectfully submitted,
